William D Keith MD

I had an issue that Dr Keith helped me with and it never came back. I had seen other dermatologists and he was the only one that knew what he was doing! Highly recommend!

One of the worst Drs. Office I’ve ever been to. Took two weeks to get an appointment. No one answers their phone. It goes straight to voicemail and you can’t even leave a message, trust me I tried it many many times. The day of the appointment I got there fifteen minutes before my appointment. I was not called in till an hour and a half latter than my appointment. When I checked with the girl up front her excuse was that they are busy. I was taken inside a room finally had to wait there another twenty minutes. When the dr. Came in he checked me briefly and said he needs toget an authorization from the lousy health net insurance of mine. I wasted an entire day of mine. Today it’s been almost a month they still don’t have an authorization for me. Come on people it’s not brain surgery. Do not even plan to schedule your appointment. It’s a waste of time. I wish I would have read some of the comments prior to my appointment.
Pleaseemployees.

I thought it was common knowledge that one should arrive at least ten minutes early to a doctors appointment, not «on time.» I always schedule my appointments for nine am and arrive at eight fifty. I am the first one there and therefore the first one seen. I am never there for more than an hour total. My most recent appointment however was at ten am. Still, I arrived ten minutes early and was in and out in one hour.
I always smile and make small conversation with the staff, they are always pleasant and attentive. Whenever I have to leave a message, they respond by the next day. A positive attitude can go a long way, who would have thought?
As for Dr. Keith, he is excellent! He knows his stuff and knows how to explain conditions and answer questions so that «average people» can understand. The success of his treatment plan for my skin has restored my confidence. I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel! I have been seeing him for a little over a year now and am not going anywhere. I recommend him to anyone who wants results.
Finally, parking can be expensive which is not a fault of the doctor.
–cash patient

Never again.
I went to Dr. Keith’s office as a first time patient despite his mixed reviews because he came recommended by someone I know personally. Big mistake.
I arrived on time for my early morning appointment to find a full waiting room with people all of which (the sign in sheet at reception confirmed) were scheduled the same time as myself.
I signed in, sat down, and waited… for over an hour. Once my name was finally called, I was shown to an exam room and told the doctor would be in shortly.
I waited there for another 45 min.
What made this especially frustrating was that I heard him walk past my door twice talking to members of his staff.
After almost two hours of waiting, I left the exam room and returned to the reception desk and told the nurses that I was done waiting and would be leaving.
After a lukewarm apology, they agreed to shred my new patient forms and I left the office with the very real impression that I’m not the first person who has reacted this way.
I would strong advise against waisting your time on a doctor who cares so little for the time of his patients and acts so unprofessionally.

I’ve been going to Dr Keith on and off for almost 20 years. He’s great at explaining your different skin conditions. Expect to wait about an hour and a half and as of 1÷1÷15 they no longer validate parking which will cost you around $ 12.00 for your hour and a half visit. I’ve recommended a lot of my friends to Dr. Keith and they too have become one of his long time patients.

Had a great experience with Dr. Keith, office staff was pleasant as well. Dr. Keith is a smart man and knows what he is talking about. He thoroughly took his time and explained what was going on with me. Great doctor, great staff! Definitely recommend!

I went to this dermatologist clinic close to five years ago. I was reffered to Dr. Keith by my grandmother who swore by him. I went for an initial consultation paid my $ 35 copay, and went on my way. Fast forward to now I get a letter from a collection agency stating that I owe the dermatology office $ 75 FOR A SURGERY. I called the office where they could not explain what surgery procedure I had, and you know why? Because I’ve never had a surgical procedure in this office or any office for that matter. My next stop is at the BBB website to file a complaint of insurance fraud for services not rendered.

Dr. Keith is a very gifted dermatologist. However, the waiting time in his office is not professional. People are given the same appointment times. Why? This makes no sense. They only validate parking for one hour. There is no way you’ll be seen by him in less than an hour. The parking rate is $ 1.60 every 15 minutes.

I began seeing Dr. Keith over 25 years ago when he practiced at the now defunct Dominguez Valley Hospital. Dr. Keith has stellar training; he has completed training as both a pharmacist and a dermatologist. As a result, I am especially confident in any medication or preparation that he recommends.
His academic training alone places him among the top practitioners in the country.
The primary challenge is the lack of professionalism and responsiveness of his staff. As other reviewers have mentioned, they do not return calls or manage administrative issues in a timely or responsive manner.

I started getting moles after childbirth and was referred to Dr. Keith (dermatologist /​pharmacist) over 30 years ago. He even removed a mole in between my eyelashes and I did not lose a single lash.
I have known some of the «office staff» almost as long and I always get a call right back, but then again I treat others the way I like to be treated… with respect.
Once I was in a HMO that referred me to someone else and received a wrong diagnosis, with a crazy treatment plan. I immediately went back to Dr. Keith and have used his special lotions & potions ever since.
I have referred many people to Dr. Keith over the years, all with high reviews. Dr. Keith understands all skin types, knows how to treat the differences and is truly the best in the business (that is why you should not be surprised if you recognize someone from the entertainment business).
He keeps me looking great!

Dr. Keith is fantastic. I’ve been going to him for a about 12 years now. I moved from LA to the east coast about 8 years ago, and although I work with other dermatologists out here (who are also great), Dr. Keith is the person I always refer to. Furthermore, when I had a real bad flare up and needed to see him, he coordinated some of his vacation time while traveling to stop near my neck of the woods on the east coast to meet me with me. He advised to do a series of steps and within days, it was cleared. So, although I spend extra money traveling to just see the guy … in the long run, it always pays off because your health is priceless and the quicker and aggressively you treat it, the better you are in the long run (his advice!)

I have olive skin and I feel more comfortable going to a Dr. that understands my type of skin. Dr. Keith has never let me down for the 10 years I’ve been going to him. He will reccomend a cheaper alternative if it’s effective even if it means I don’t go in to see him. I’ve referred several patients who have been very happy with his services.

I would start off by saying Dr. Keith is a good Dr. Yet he talks far more than he should be listening. My last visit was a one of my worst. I’m sure he has heard it all. But in this type of business listening is imperative to fully understand your patient’s concerns. He walked in and not ONCE did he ask me what was going on. Although the breakouts were obvious. But I wanted to get to the bottom of a few things. Yet he talked and talked, I could not get a word in edgewise… then poof he was gone… I didn’t get a prescription for anything. just got a couple of tiny samples of whatever… and no instructions on what to do or how to use them. 30 mins.10 of which waiting in the lobby. and $ 200 later. I walked out feeling worst than when I came in. Was thinking I was treated this way because I was a cash patient. I will never know and I will never return. I hope he or his staff reads this and make some adjustments.

While the doctor is great, the front office staff is TERRIBLE. They don’t return phone calls at all. They do not communicate well. It’s a tough choice… do you put up with their crap to see a great doctor?

Out of fear I have been avoiding getting a much needed excision. I had two funky looking spots on my skin. I thought to myself it would be better to bite the bullet and get them done now before any problem should arise. It was a long wait, and I did not have work/​class so I did not care. As far as the excision goes, that was the easiest bit of surgery I have ever been through. It did not hurt one bit. He numbed my skin with lidocaine, then we talked about my other problems to save time. The surgery was NOTHING, thinking about it before hand was the worst part. Thank you Dr. Keith I will never let something like an excision haunt me away from the dermatologist office. No pain, and great cosmetic results.

Every good doctor knows that you have to take a good medical history!!! I wasn’t asked my medical history or given space to write it down on my intake paperwork.
I came in as a new patient, filled out my paperwork and was seated in a room. I was getting an irregular mole checked out and he was in and out within 4 minutes. He only looked at the mole, and didn’t even take 2 minutes to do a general look over (or take a good history!).
Most dermatologist will check at least your arms and legs for irregular moles or skin conditions, that is their realm of expertise. This guy was a total disappointment. If you want a doctor who cares about you as a person, look elsewhere!

This man is amazing. I can not count how many people I’ve recommended to him. Let me put it like this… although my insurance requires me to go to other doctors I go to him and pay out of pocket. He’s just so worth the cost. I remember I had a serious skin outbreak and for months I went to several of my doctors and none of them knew the cause. One even tried telling me it was all in my head (WTF?!) I went to Dr. Keith and he was able to tell me what it was within 2 minutes. It was such a relief to figure out what it was and begin treatment. There’s no BS he finds the problem and fixes it head on. This man knows his stuff.

I have been going to Dr. Keith for about a year and a half. He is awesome! He was highly recommended to me from a co-​worker who also has friends who have seen Dr. Keith for many, many years. I went to him with acne and he knew just what to give me. I had tried everything. He gave me Tazorac and it has worked wonders. I just saw him again today actually, after 5 months. He said to wait 5 months since my skin has been clear, so you won’t even have to see him very often once he starts treating you :-).
